Hi everyone! I\\u2019m Georgiana; founder of\\xa0SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

• In today\\u2019s episode, I\\u2019ll reveal to you the 7 secrets of the English\\xa0pronunciation.
• Later you\\u2019ll practice your\\xa0speaking\\xa0with a funny\\xa0mini story. The story is about a man who wants to speak English with a perfect accent.

SECRET #1: LISTEN TO YOURSELF!

Listening to your own\\xa0pronunciation\\xa0errors when you speak English can be difficult if not almost impossible to attain. What you\\u2019re usually doing is focusing on the conversation instead of the sounds you\\u2019re making. So, try to\\xa0record yourself\\xa0using your PC or smartphone. Do this\\xa0only from time\\xa0to time to observe the areas that need improvement. Many people hate their voice, and hearing themselves speak a foreign language for the first time will be difficult, but it\\u2019s a\\xa0necessary step\\xa0to develop a sense of self-awareness for improvement.

SECRET #2: SLOW DOWN!

I\\u2019ve noticed over the years that many English students think that speaking fluently equals speaking quickly. That\\u2019s an unfortunate misconception.\\xa0When you talk too fast, you\\xa0reinforce bad habits\\xa0since you don\\u2019t have time to think about what you want to say next. Besides, you project little confidence.\\xa0Talking slowly\\xa0will help you\\xa0relax\\xa0and feel\\xa0more confident.
